Answer 1

As much as I hate to answer my own questions I found the problem: I should've used:

   weatherImg.setColorFilter(Color.WHITE, PorterDuff.Mode.SRC_ATOP);

Answer 2

We use this code

Drawable drawable = DrawableCompat.wrap(getDrawable(drawableResource));
        drawable.mutate();
        DrawableCompat.setTint(drawable, getColor(color));
        drawable.setBounds(0, 0, drawable.getIntrinsicWidth(), drawable.getIntrinsicHeight());

public static int getColor(int id) {
        return ContextCompat.getColor(getInstance().context, id);
    }

public static Drawable getDrawable(int id) {
        return ContextCompat.getDrawable(getInstance().context, id);
    }

Answer 3

Had the same issue on Android 6. Solved by using ImageView.getDrawable().setColorFilter() instead of ImageView.setColorFilter().

Answer 4

For me, simply calling setColorFilter() on the ImageView wasn't working.

imageView.setColorFilter(ResourcesCompat.getColor(resources, color, null)) //didnt work on 21, only 22+

For whatever reason, on API 21, the only way I could get setColorFilter() to work properly was to post the change to the views message queue.

imageView.post { imageView.setColorFilter(ResourcesCompat.getColor(resources, color, null)) } //this works on 21+
